It was only five days ago that Flixster was updated on Windows Phone. It didn’t add much at first blush, but it did include one new feature. The “my movies” section allows you to rate/review movies and save others to your future watch list. Fast forward a few days and here we are at another update for Flixster. What’s new?

If you head to the Store you’ll see version 2.0 of Flixster sitting there. Like last time, no change log and we can’t find any new features. However, we’re all noticing it perform like a champ. It’s noticeably faster for all of us here on the site and we’re digging the speed improvements. It could be that the app was just optimized for Windows Phone 8.

Why? In the Store you’ll see version 2.0 available for Windows Phone 8, while users on Windows Phone 7.x will be seeing 1.9 of Flixster.

When I saw 2.0 I got excited thinking I would finally be able to watch my "digital copy" of the many movies I own on blu-ray. I'm sorry but when you don't have a way to buy or rent movies in WP8 and you know what the iOS version does, it is very depressing

Yes, i set region to US and downloaded it. Bug it boggles the mind, why isn't this app available everywhere? Is just ridiculous. Anyway, i think i'll keep the US region. Is there any disadvantage in doing that? (I'm in germany)
